The dataset is included in one xlsx file with 12 data sheets.</p>
<p>
The core data includes:<br />
1. Relative foraminifera abundance counts in the >125 μm size fraction, and the occurrence of <i>Turborotalita quinqueloba</i> in the 63-125 μm. Relative abundance is defined as: Abundant (≥50% of sample), Common (>100 specimens), Few (50-100 specimens), Rare (< 50 specimens), Barren (0 specimens). Intervals where <i>T. quinqueloba</i> occurs are marked by an 'X'.</p>
<p>
2. Grain size measurements acquired at a 1-2 cm downcore resolution using a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle analyser. Data is averaged from 5 replicate measurements at each sample position. Data includes: % volume of sand, silt and clay, as well as the fine, medium and coarse silt volumes.</p>
<p>
3. Physical properties measured using a GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger: Bulk Density (g/cc) and Bartington loop sensor Magnetic Susceptibility (SI × 10⁻⁵).</p>
<p>
4. ITRAX XRF scanner data at a 2 mm downcore resolution.</p>
